LA: Fairview-Riverside State Park delivers something different

LAFAYETTE, La. — After visiting eight of Louisiana’s 21 state parks, I started to worry. Maybe we’d seen it all somewhere between freezing and fishing at Cypremort Point State Park and hiking through the trees of Chicot.

What else is there?

We started with a tour of the Otis House, a two-story Victorian built in the 1880s and remodeled in the 1930s.
